\n\t\u201cEmpowered women empower women,\u201d Khan, who is set to receive the Luminary Award, said in a statement. \u201cI am honored to be part of a movement that celebrates the creativity, resilience, and determination of women creators everywhere.

\n\tFittingly, for an event being held during Grammy Week, several of the honorees are 2026 Grammy nominees.<\/p>\n

\n\tAllen has four nominations this year \u2013 songwriter of the year, non-classical (an award she won last year), album of the year for her contributions to Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s Man\u2019s Best Friend (Allen won in that category three years ago for her work on Harry Styles\u2019 Harry\u2019s House); and two song of the year nods, for cowriting Carpenter\u2019s \u201cManchild\u201d and the Bruno Mars\/Ros\u00e9 collab \u201cAPT.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe event will include a seated dinner, awards ceremony, and live performances.

\n\t\u201cWe Are Moving The Needle is about strengthening the music industry so creators can thrive on their own terms,\u201d Lazar said in a statement. \u201cThe Resonator Awards are a reflection of that mission \u2014 honoring not only remarkable artistry, but the shared commitment to building an industry that lives up to its values.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2019, Lazar became the first female mastering engineer to win a Grammy for best engineered album, non-classical for her work on Beck\u2019s Colors. Two years later, she became the first mastering engineer <\/a>to land three Grammy nods for album of the year in a single year.
